Savvy. Ingenuity. Moxie. Craftsmanship. Attention to detail.
   These are just a few of the Gerber company traits that contributed to our emergence as a world leader in Gerber Knives and outdoor gear.
   But then there's the issue of toughness. And frankly, nothing could be tougher than living down the first career of founder Joseph Gerber as...that's right...an advertising man.

You could call it the "Boy Named Sue" syndrome. And live it down we have.

    Joseph Gerber started Portland, Oregon's Gerber Advertising back in 1910. One Christmas, he hired a local knife-maker to craft 25 sets of kitchen cutlery as client gifts. The knives were so popular, Mr. Gerber ultimately left his agency to launch Gerber Legendary Blades in 1939.

   It makes sense, really. An idea man gets the idea of a lifetime and turns it into a major outdoor brand. One that commands respect among knife lovers and knife-makers alike. Gerber Knives. And now that high regard is spreading in new directions at Gerber Knives, in the form of many outstanding products. Such as tools, personal L.E.D. lighting, and backpack hydration.

   With a history like ours and products like these, it's no wonder Gerber is completely unafraid of the future.

Styles of Gerber Knives

Fixed Blade

   Typically used for hunting or camping, fixed blades do not fold, making them extremely stout and secure. We use both full and partial tangs in our fixed blades, which are made using a high-carbon stainless steel. The handles are made from a variety of materials including wood, genuine stag or our patented softgrip technology.

Clip Folding

   While the style of clip folder may vary, these everyday general purpose Gerber knives feature our most exciting designs, a good working blade, secure lock, and a strong handle. The clip holds the knife firmly in place deep in the pocket while offering easy access.

Stockman

   Stockman, from Gerber knives bring back the heritage of a gentleman's pocket knife. often in multi-blade construction, these Gerber knives are small and compact for ease of carrying in the pocket.

Single Blade

   Small folding knives fit comfortably in the pocket. Pocket Gerber knives typically have no pocket clip and usually have a fine edge as opposed to serrated blades.

Folding Sheath

   Preferable to clip folders when working on large, messy jobs, folding sheath Gerber knives are larger in size and usually carried in a sheath on a belt, or in a pack. versatile in design, you can find a sheath folder for almost every situation: utility, hunting, everyday use, and more. Our sheaths are made using ballistic nylon or leather and have velcro closures.
